Brisbane knew that Buckley didn't really want to stay at Brisbane, so they gave him the option when he got there, which was, if you want to stay, then so be it, but we will trade you if you don't want to

Geez, that sounds familar . It must be ok for players to leave other clubs to go to C'Wood, just not the other way around ...

The problem Collingwood supporters had was the way he kept changing his mind and that sort of thing. Nick said he wanted to stay at the club, then he changed his mind, then he said he wanted to go again. Then, after all that, Nick said that he would have stayed at Collingwood if we'd won the Grand Final. Going about it that way was sure to upset the club, players ans supporters.

There is always two sides to the story, don't think that Nick went about everything the right way, just like the club didn't either.

Look, I like Nick, I don't want to get into anothet Nick argument. The difference is, Brisbane knew exactly where they stood with Buckley, Collingwood did not, with Nick.

Nick was a confused, homesick kid. He didn't know WHAT he was thinking himself half the time . Eddie and co, were grown men with THEIR families close by ...

He got pissed off that Eddie was trying to bully him in public, to sign a fairly long term contract . Hardly the way to go about resigning an already disgruntled guy . Then he played injured against Carlton, and had his club loyalty publicly questioned, just because he'd had an ordinary game . Once again, a great way to resign him, and keep him a happy little vegemite at C'Wood . But anyway, it seems Nicks a smart mouthed ungrateful little sod, because he stood up for himself ... Such is life .

As for Nick saying he would have stayed had they won the grand final . That could have been a spur of the moment statement , like " we only want good people at this club "

But I guess at the end of the day, Nick is just like Bucks, he's playing where he ALWAYS wanted to be, too .

I'm not going to argue over it with you either, they're my recollections on what happened ...whatever .

There was a story somewhere this morning on Pebbles Rocca, where he mentioned it too . Sorry i can't remember where ...
